DISPATCH from Galveston

A DISPATCH from Galveston of a recent date says A cyclone visited Brownsville, carrying destruction in its paths. The rain which ac- companled the storm deluged the country for miles. The loss to prop erty and crops is very great Thus far no lives are reported lost.
 The village of Santa Cruz, oppo- site Brownsville, was entirely sub merged for several hours.
 The Rio Grande rose rapidly and ragged like a sea, the backwate: over flowing many miles of fertile land.
 The wind reached a velocity of over eighty miles an hour, blowing a perfect hurricane for couple of hours. The rainfall during the tune, by actual measurement reach ed ten inches. The floods did al- most as much dam ge as the wind.
 In Brownsville seventy small houses were blown down and three hundred others partially unroofed.
 In Matamoras, Mexico, dozens of houses of the better class and 200 smaller ones were prostrated, while from 400 to 500 others are unroofed.
 In the country on the American side of the river incalculable dam age has been done. Countless cat tie and sheep have been lost.
 The crops of cotton, corn and sugar cane are completely pros trated and destroyed.

Governor is small military dlcta- tor, it is hard for even an enlight- ened and friendly administration to secure perfect justice through out the whole country. The con trast between the management of frontier difficulties at Nogales and Fl Paso show much depends upon the State governments. But there is a point at which allowances must stop. Ii the federal administra- ton of Mexico cannot preserve some semblancc of civilization among its turbulent satrapies, it must be taught how to do it.
 When the demand comes from the right source, the Mexican Gov ernmcnt shows that it does at least how to give redress. For the mur- der of an Englishman-nOt an un- provoked race assassination, like that of Baldwin, but an ordinary crime of personal revenge-it re- gently paid an indemnity of $200,- 900. For fifty years the same dis tinction has existed. England has always been respected in Mexico j; the United States always desplsed. We do not wish 10 follow Great Britain into the career of a univer- sal bully, but we do wish to acquire little of her frmness in insisting upon undoubted rights It is time for our government to adopt a de- cided tone. We must have repara- tion to the families of the murder ed Americans and an honest at tempt to avenge their deaths and prevent new crimes.-San Francis co Examiner.

COMPROMISES in sheep matters do not seem to be very profitable for our couAty,
 Vigil's sheep which were attached some two months ago to indemnify the county against loss in the Treasury matter, on whose bonds Mir. Vigil appears in the sum oi 5000 were turned over few weeks ago to Mr. Hubbell, their present apparent owner, on com promise of Mir. Hubbell's paying what it would have cost him to run the sheep during the time the coun- ty had them in possession, which was $156, and assuming Vigil's lia- bility on the Treasurer'S bond by giving a mortgage on these sheep in the shape of two notes, each for $1,350, made payable in two and three years from date. In the mean time the county has to pay $3G6.4S in cash to the men who herded these sheep and consider a claim of Messrs. Gutterson and Morrison for $500 for attorney fees, in com pensation for their labor in effect ing this compromise In short, the county is expected to pay out now sS50 on account Of this compro-

ST. JOINS (A. T.), Sept. 19.-The trial of Frank Clark for the murder of Pat Mullen, ranchman. in April last. took place before Judge Wright to-day. Clark was a bar tender in Walter Darling's saloon, at St. Johns. He says the dispute arose regarding the payment of a gambling debt; that Mullen at tempted to draw his revolver, when Clark shot him,
 The evidence before the Coroncr's jury showed that Mullen had no revolver.
 The murder took place in the sa- loon about ten o'clock at night There were no witnesses, but Clark gave himself up, Mullen had just sold ranch, and it was thought that the motive was robbery. as Mullen, when found, had his hand in his pocket, with the money in his hand. He was shot ten times.
 It required ten days in which to obtain a jury. The verdict, return ed this morning, found Clark guilty of murder in the second degree. He will be sentenced on the last day of the term.
 The above is fair specimen of several dispatches that have been sent from this county to leading papers, both east and west. The agent of the associated press from this point appears to be endeavor- ing to eclipse the Benson liar. Null en was not shot ten times TO one ever thought the object of Clark in doing the shooting was robbery, if it lad been, he could easily have taken the money, as 1t was some minutes before any one went into the saloon after the shooting; neith- CT was ten days consumed in secur- ing a jury. So far as we can asccr- tain there has not been a dispatch sent from here since, and including the killing of Cooper, Blevins and Roberts, that was not intended to mislead as to material facts, and insinuate wrong motives and false interpretations of the acts of some

Americans in Mexico.

The story of the wanton murder of an American citizen by gang of Mexican rufiians is nothing new or startling. It is because it is so old; because the assassination of Americans for no other crime but AmericaniSm has become such an every day occurrence in Mexico that the Examiner thinks it worth some special attention. San Fran cisco is not SC clean-handed in res pect to crime that she can afford to be hypercritical about an occasion al murder. But when murder is epidemic and men of a single na- tionality arc the sufferers it is time to protest.
 We know of no part of the civil ized or semi-civilized world in which any class suffers the out rages endured by Americans in some parts of Mexico. The condition of the mythical Chinaman in the hy- pothetical California created by the Eastern imagination affords the nearest approach to a parallel. No honesty, no tact, no regard for ig- norant susceptibilities is enough to save one of the hated race from the general prescription. The taint of Gringo blood is an invitation to murder at the first Safe opportunity.
 Leon Mcleod Baldwin, the min ing superintendent whose recent assassination in Durango was the continuation of a long reign of ter TOT, leaves a widow whose family relationships bring the outrage home both to popular and official feelings Tn the United states. The granddaughter of Francis Scott Key mourning the impotence of the banner beneath whose folds her husband was butchered is figure which will stir the public pulse, while the rank of some of her rela- tives in the Government service may spur our patient diplomacy to action.
 We can make every allowance for the difficulties of the Central Mex ican Government. We can under stand that in a loosely jointed fed eral system in which each State

pect to return. Miss Simpson, while here, made herself very pop ular with our young people, who regret very much to lose her society.
 It is reported that the Critic dies with the next issue. So far we have heard no moaning, wailing or gnashing of teeth, as it is generally conceded that this paper has done more to disparage the credit of our county than all the other bad ele- ments put together. We sincerely hope that Apache county may never have another such a vile, black mailing sheet published within its borders. We believe that the good people of HolbrOok will be careful how they invest in newspaper en- terprises hereafter. Our experience with the Press, Times and Critic, should be a warning for all time to come. Some fanatic or crank, who is anxious to see his name in print, may jump at the first cpp nrtunity to get another adventurcr here that has neither brains or money.

The American Party's Platform.

The American party's platform, after a long preamble, recites the evil of unrestricted immigration of the refuse subjects of European na- tions, who, by teaching and train ing are unfit to become American citizens, reiterates the sentiment of "America for Americans" ;" and makes the following declaration of principles:
 1. The establishment of Q nation al bureau of immigration.
 ?. The revision of the naturali- zation laws; fourteen years resi- dence to be a requisite for citizen ship, and communists, etc, to be excluded,
 3. Compulsory education,
 4. Forbidding aliens ownership of land.
 5. The sup'us revenue to be cx- pended in internal Improvements and coast Notifications,
 6. Religious freedom and sCplra- ton of church and state.
 7, The right of labor to organize for it's protection.
 s. Asserting the necessity of en- forcing the Monroe doctrine.
 9. No sectionalism. but one peo- pie pledged to liberty and indepen- dence.

write to his family, notifying them
 that unless they immediately raised
 and paid to an individual named
 in the letter, the sum of $15,000 by
 September 18th, he would be shot.
 Upon receipt of the letter Barrera s son promptly paid the sum and the prisoner was set at liberty, and re- turned home. He says he was kt p.
 blindfolded during his detention, and when his captors received in formation that the money demand ed for his release had been paid, he was escorted to the river above Renosa, and mounted on horse back. The handkerchief was then removed and he was told to go. During his detention he was in a dense thicket only trayersed by narrow plths; so narrow that the horses were unable to get through, being closed by blankets, stretched across them while thus confined. MT. Barrera said there were thirty or forty different persons visiting the place, and all.of them were un- doubtcdly connected with the band.

Mere Work of Mexican BandiSt,

A Corpus Christi, Texas, special says; News has reached here from the lower Rio Grande country, giv- ing particulars of a daring outrage perpetrated on a resident of one of the border counties. On Septem- Der 18th, Juan Garcia Barrera, a rich ranchman, while a short dis tance from his home, situated be- tween Los Tcredales and La Gaza- lima, was surrounded by five des- paradoes and robbed of $200. He was then taken across the river into Mexico, and there closely guarded.
 Barreras captors compelled him to

 EDITOR HERALD-The late kill ing of John Graham and Charles Blevins, and the arrest of the Tewks- burys m Tonto Basin, encourages the people here to believe the fac tional war at an end, although it is known that there are several hard characters left, who propose to do q little more killing on their own hook. Mr. Perkins, at whose store Graham and Blcvins were killed, came into town last week and re- ported everything quiet. A few more scenes like those enacted by Owens and Mulvenon, assisted by the strong arm of the law, and our officers sustained by the voice of all good people, will soon rll our Ter ritory of murderers, train robbers, horse and cattle thieves. We hear praise on every side of the thorough manner in which our late court and officers discharged their duty.

It is believed Apache county has several more in the penitentiary, convicted and sent there in like manner, and if it Is to cost our county $lG0 each for their return, 1t would be well for the county to get her convicts an annual pass, that they may enjoy the festivities of an excursion in travelling to and fro between Yuma and Apache county, at the expense of the taxpayers.

A Disputed VIII Case.

CHICAGO, Sept; S.-A bill was filed in
the superior court to-day to break the will
OF the late Judge T. Lyle Dickey. Ac-
cording to the will, Mrs. Beulah c..
Dickey, the second wife, was bequeathcd
the entire estate. The %complainants are
Judge Dickey's children, all of whom
were by his first wife. They are John j.
Dickey, of Omaha; Martha A. Wallace,
of Ottawa, Ills; Chas. H. Dickey, of
Hoiku, Hawaiian Islands, and Victoria
b. Wallace, of the same place. The
court is asked to carry out the intention
of the deceased, which is declared to be
that the widow receive one. third of the
estate. 1t is claimed that Mrs. Dickey
compelled her husband to make a will
ignoring her children, and the startling
charge is made that when the Judge was
on his death bed he begged the presence
of a lawyer for the purpose of making a
new will. The boon was denied, and it is
charged that pending the death of the
aged judge his wife would allow no one to
see him but herself.
